new book throughout and is excellent.
This book is not at once to take the place
of the old arithmetic. Glasses will COM
plete the books they are now using. In
the organization of new classes in prac-
teal arithmetic the revised book will be
used. 1t is superior to the old.
Teachers must understand that Reed

the State series. There is no excuse what
eve, for the use Of the primary book, as
Part 20 of Mrs. Knox's series has been

Mrs. Knox's books has been used, she in
troduced her second book, entitled parts

The Storm.

The heaviest snow storm of the season be-
gan here at about midnight Saturday and
ragged fiercey all day yesterday. By night
fall the city presented snow bound appear
ance. Most of the sidewalks on the princi-
pal streets had been shoyelled off several
times and were still buried under nearly a
foot of snow, while the banks at the sides
of the streets had grown in many places to a
height of seven OF eight feet The horse cars
run all day, but the snow plows with their
long lines of horses had to be kept constant
ly in use to make the tracks passable for the
cara. Pedestrians during the day were
scarce and few sleighs were taken out.
The paper trains from Boston arrived here
yesterday morning two hours late, but both
of the Boston trains left on time. The Bos-
ton boat came in on time, and the steamer
Katahdin, of the Boston and Bangor line,
put into the harbor for shelter. The upper
harbor was filed with floating ice, and from
the wharyes, the roar of the surf ON the Cape
shore could be plainly heard.
At six o'clock last evening the snow ceased
falling. At that time foot and a half had
fallen on a level The wind blew fora time
filling the streets with clouds of snow. Snow
plows had been running on the lines of the
railroads and the late trains from Boston
and Bangor came on time.

A Live Firm.

1t is pleasure to say good word for B.
A. Atkinson & Co., the well known furni-
ture dealers of this city. Their great empo-
rum. at the corner of Pearl and Middle
streets, is so well patronized that at any hour
of the day yon will find large numbers Of
customers in every department. Their line
of parlor and chamber sets, dining room fur
niture, furnaces, stoves, and all kinds of
housekeeping goods, cannot be excelled by
any establishment in New England. Fur
thermore, their great facilities for purchas-
ing. owing to immense trade, enables them
to put ON the market the best of goods at
low prices. That is one reason why their
immense store is always found Astounding
in customers, and another is the fact that
the articles sold are always of the best. Mr..
Isaac c. Atkinson, the manager of the Port
land branch, has done much to create the
great trade of the house, and his large force
of employees theoretically second all his
efforts

No Money Being Spent.

TO the Editor OF the Press:
In Saturdays Advertiser there are two
columns of arguments if they can be SC
called, in favor of voting to destroy the Old
City Hall and to build upon its site a mon.
ument not yet designed and to be paid fol-
with money not yet wholly raised. l have
no wish to reply to these arguments since
by their weakness they really favor the
mo" side of the question. But 1 wish to
correct the inference of ''B" that the ''oppo-
sition" are spending money to secure
votes" The opposition committee was also
approached, probably by the very same
workers" that "B" refers to, and from
them we learned that the monument COM
mittee had workers in the feld but we did
not believe it. do not think dollar will
be spent by either side to purchase votes.
Certainly none will be by the mo" side.
We have raised only very small sum of
money and have used the most of it in
publishing the addresses. With the balance
we shall pay one days wages to those ballot
distributors who cannot afford to give their
time. / hardly know what to say in reply
to the funny statement that our canvass for
signatures was urgent and especially that
only nineteen soldiers names are upon the
list. We are all comrades together, whether
Yes" or NO; let us not quarrel. To re-
flute you on this point | should have to tell
the public much, very much, that / do not
want them to know. JOHN nj. GOULD.

The exhibition and ball to be given by the
Portland Turnveren at City Hall this even
ing will be one of the most brilliant social
events Of the winter. 1t is long time since
a public exhibition has been given by the
members of the Turnverein, and this one
promises to be of exceptional interest, both
on account of the number of the participants
and the excellent training they have receiv-
ed during long and scientific course of in
struction. Every means has been used to
render the ball after the exhibition, enjoya-
Bile. Professor Gilbert will do the prompt

fourteen pieces will furnish splendid music
for The dancers. The tickets have met with

Fire on Anderson Street.

The alarm from box II at o'clock yester-
day morning was caused by fire in the large
two and half story wooden tenement, with
ell, on Anderson street occupied by John p.
Callahan and Albert II. Purinton, and own
ed by Mr. Cannon. The fire was caused
by rags and cloths heated to wrap around a
water pipe in order to thaw it out. The
steamers did not put ON any water, the
flames being extinguished by several pals OF
water iudiciously applied. Later the fire broke
out again in the woodwork, but was quickly
extinguished. The hydrants in the vicinity
were reported frozen up so that the steamers
could not have used them if so desired. The
snow in the street made it difficult work for
the engines to reach the fire, and Cumber-
land 3s hose carriage had its runners broken
The loss by the fire, it was thought, would
not exceed $50.
